    This is a party planners hostel for boat trips. If that's not your thing stay somewhere else. Kitchen is basically a shelf. Location is incredibly difficult to find, no signage, I arrived late at night and was lost.

    A social place with small social areas inside and out. The room was decent.

    Very nice, very economical hostel but without a lot of physical space.

    Kitchen facilities are almost non-existent. Don't plan on cooking a meal here.

    Outlanders is a very good hostel with congenial guests and a sparse volunteer staff. The price was exceptional, 11€ in early April. The layout is a little cramped and the only indoor common area shares a small room with the reception desk. The long narrow porch offers outdoor seating. There is an ample guest refrigerator but no way to cook. Dormitory is quiet, beds are comfortable and have accessible light and electricity. A Lidl supermarket is 7 minutes away on foot and the edge of the large Marjan Forest Park is about the same. Neighborhood street parking is quite easy but the municipal bus terminal is a substantial 23 minute walk. Cats are ever present (the dormitory door has a sign "Keep cats out during the night"), which some travelers will see as positive, others negative.

    Unique place in Split

    • Bed in 10-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    The only problematic thing I realized is that there are only 2 toilets/ bathrooms (one for women and one for men), so it is possible, that you will wait in line for using it.

    I actually chosen this hostel, because from the reviews it seemed that it has really special vibes. And yes, it is a little bit "punk" style hostel. It is also a budget accomodation and it looks like that. However, the hostel has really, really unique spirit, so if you want to see something other than unificated tourist industry, definitely don't be afraid of somehow lower ratings on Booking. The hostel is located in pleasant and practical part of Split (few minutes from the old town, but not directly there, so you can feel "normal" Croatian everyday life). It has beautifuly arranged kind of terrace and a small but nice social room. The kitchen is equipped with all dishes, so you can prepare some meals by your own. Dorms are a little bit dark, but it is enough, if you want just to sleep there :) Hostel staff is really friendly and helpful! They offer some interesting city activities as well (as a historical city tour or a cooking workshop), which I have not experienced, but it sounds great. Another nice thing is quite late check-out time - fine both for early birds (you can wake up in the morning and enjoy the city a bit before you leave) and sleepers (you can rest without any stress). Oh, and the most important thing! There are cute cats living in the hostel. Lot of cats. However, keep calm: you almost don't see any hair nor other "stuff" related to the kitties, so you can just enjoy their company in common room and terrace.

    The location is a bit difficult to find if you use “maps.me” since the entrance is quite hidden and cannot be crossed from behind. And only one shower room so waiting is quite normal.

    I love the very helpful staff, and very diverse guests, it seems like everyone soon bond into new families.

    Bathooms were very small with almost no privacy. As far as I know there was one bathroom for the girls and another one for men consisting of only 2 showers, 1 sink and 1 toilet in the same room Kitchen also very very small with stove of 2 and 1 sink. most people pretty much eat at same time so we had to wait for each other to finish cooking. I enjoyed my stay so much that I extended my stay for another night

    I never felt so much at home in a Hostel. Lovely environment with good structured rules. They managed to somehow make everyone feel so at home and everyone enjoyed staying longer in the hostel to chat, lough, play games or watch TV together. Never experienced this this much in a hostel. Would definitly book this hostel again if im in the area. Location is not that far from canter. Lovely patio to sit and chill.

    They take only cash payment :( . Though they have mentioned it but it would be nice if they have card payment options too :)

    It’s a great property and is perfect value for money. Both the staff JJ and LauRa were super friendly and adorable. It’s a small hostel with homely vibe. If you love cats then it’s defiantly your den :) . Things are all nearby. Had a great stay.

    Small ladies bathroom, only for one person. A bit shaky beds. First night I slept in 4-bed room, I missed there window blinds and as well during the night it was a bit noisy, as one person was making long phone call right behind the window. I prolonged my stay for the second night, as my plans changed, I moved to 10-bed room and actually I slept better here :) windows had here already blinds and it was more quiet that night.

    Close to the city center. Nice and helpful staff, who helped me to plan my trip around Split and showed all the places on the map, as I did not really check it before :) Big space for personal stuff with a lock and electric plugs next to each bed.

    Nothing I could complain about!

    Great place for people on a budget and for solo travellers who want to meet new people as all people were very friendly, however not pushy so it is also suitable to introverts! The staff was the friendliest and most helpful of any place I have been to so far! All basic amenities are met, with no luxury, however that is why this place is good value for money. It has a really cool hippie vibe as advertised on booking. The location is excellent, very near the city centre and close to beaches as well. It is also near a hilltop of the city of Split (Marjan) so there are plenty of beautiful places to take walks around, apart from the city centre. The hostel also has cute cats which roam peacefully (but are not allowed to stay in the bedrooms at night). I can highly recommend for people on a budget, solo travellers and for anyone looking for a relaxed atmosphere where it easy to meet new people. However, despite the hippie atmosphere, the staff are making sure that people are able to get a good sleep and that there are no disturbances at any time of the day.

    There is nothing I can really suggest to be improved. The place is a hostel with a hippie vibe, so there certainly isn't any luxury, which is anyway not what any of the guests were looking for. All amenities are met with nothing basic lacking, I can say better than some other regular hostels I have been to before.

    I enjoyed the stay at the hostel throughout. The location is excellent, just a short walk right to city centre and near several beaches. All necessary amenities are closeby as well. It was the most relaxed place I have stayed at so far, however the staff still made sure that there were no issues with noise or any disturbance. I managed to get a really good sleep each time and the beds were comfortable. The receptionists are one of the friendliest and most helpful staff! I have found the other guests to be very friendly as well, everyone was respectful and was open for a conversation (but nobody was pushy so it is also a good place for introverts), so this place is ideal for any solo travelers as well and for people on a budget. All amenities necessary for a hostel were there, everything was clear and practical. And for any catpeople out there, there are hostel cats which are adorable!
